Today on The Wise Prepper Show The northwest condition, all about earthquakes with guest James Roddey A very special show with my Guest James Roddey a former USGS official and now the director of Ready Set Prepare we talk all about earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides.

We cover the Cascadia subduction zone the Portland Fault and the Oatfield fault, as well as take calls and answer some questions from our Facebook fans. I recommend you try some experiments at OMSI to get the feel for a earthquake, James explains the moment magnitude scale and talks to us about how large the earthquake we can expect will be. Then answers Kevin's question of “When, Where and how bad?” Then James helps us to visualize the subduction zone Fault line and we take many more questions and comments. We cover damage from the coast to the valley, what to expect from the bridges, what may happen to the Hanford nuclear waste site in a earthquake and more… THIS IS THE SHOW to listen to.
